Enter the first TCP or UDP port of the range that the service uses. If the service uses only one port, then the Start Port and the Finish Port will be the same. 5. Enter the last port of the range that the service uses. If the service only uses a single port number, enter the same number in both fields. 6. Click Add. The new custom service will be added to the Custom Services Table. To edit the parameters of a service: 1. In the Custom Services Table, click the Edit icon adjacent to the service you want to edit. The Edit Service screen will display. 2. Modify the parameters you wish to change. 3. Click Reset to cancel the changes and restore the previous settings. 4. Click Apply to confirm your changes. The modified service will display in the Custom Services Table. Setting Quality of Service (QoS) Priorities The Quality of Service (QoS) Priorities setting determines the priority of a service, which in turn, determines the quality of that service for the traffic passing through the firewall. The user can change this priority • On the Services screen in the Custom Services Table for customized services (see Figure 416). • On the Add LAN WAN Outbound Services screen (see Figure 4-3.) • On the Add DMZ WAN Outbound Services screen (see Figure 4-5) The QoS priority definition for a service determines the queue that is used for the traffic passing through the VPN firewall. A priority is assigned to IP packets using this service. Priorities are defined by the "Type of Service (ToS) in the Internet Protocol Suite" standards, RFC 1349. A ToS priority for traffic passing through the VPN firewall is one of the following: • Normal-Service: No special priority given to the traffic. The IP packets for services with this priority are marked with a ToS value of 0. • Minimize-Cost: Used when data has to be transferred over a link that has a lower "cost". The IP packets for services with this priority are marked with a ToS value of 1. Firewall Protection and Content Filtering v1.0, March 2009 4-27

Setting Quality of Service (QoS) Priorities
The Quality of Service (QoS) Priorities setting determines the priority of a service, which in turn,
determines the quality of that service for the traffic passing through the firewall. The user can
change this priority
On the
Services
screen in the Custom Services Table for customized services (see
Figure 4-
16
).
On the
Add LAN WAN Outbound Services
screen (see
Figure 4-3
.)
On the
Add DMZ WAN Outbound Services
screen (see
Figure 4-5
)
The QoS priority definition for a service determines the queue that is used for the traffic passing
through the VPN firewall. A priority is assigned to IP packets using this service. Priorities are
defined by the “Type of Service (ToS) in the Internet Protocol Suite” standards, RFC 1349. A ToS
priority for traffic passing through the VPN firewall is one of the following:
Normal-Service:
No special priority given to the traffic. The IP packets for services with this
priority are marked with a ToS value of 0.
Minimize-Cost:
Used when data has to be transferred over a link that has a lower “cost”. The
IP packets for services with this priority are marked with a ToS value of 1.
